Racehorse categories

As a contributor to racehorse articles I would appreciate you taking a look at Category_talk:Racehorses and expressing any views you have regarding Racehorse categories. - Cuddy Wifter 05:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think creating a Wikipedia:WikiProject Horse racing. would be a brilliant idea. I would love to contribute. (dark horse 04:00, 4 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Good work

Thanx for changing my horse/jockey image, your creation works really well. Handicapper 13:46, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any expertise in creating/fixing Infoboxes? I'd like to change the setup on the two bottom sections in the current version of the Template:Thoroughbred racehorse infobox. If you can help, let me know. Thanx. Handicapper 17:07, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanx for the effort. What I would like to have at the bottom is three separate boxes with the blue banner background as follows:

Major Racing Wins
Racing Awards
Honours

Each one should be optional as not every horse received an award or a post racing honour. Most important, is to get rid of the current sub-titles so that each box is empty for typing centered text. You can see an example at Fantastic Four where they use centered text in one box and with bolded headers (instead of my 3 separate boxes). Do you think you might be able to do this? Thanx again, any help is greatly appreciated. Handicapper 15:06, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template tests

September 13th, 17:17 - Really great work and certainly appreciated. I've been using your first version above with all three items in one box so people can see it at a few articles such as:

However, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to also do a test for the second one that utilizes the three separate boxes. If you would wait another day to give others a chance to see this 1st sample then set it up again with the three separate boxes alternative so we can all chose between the two, that would be appreciated. Thanx again. Handicapper

I really like the new version Galopin, a definite improvement on the old infoboxes. I like the idea of one box over 3 as well, looks much better. I would only suggest a colour behind the horses name at the top of the infobox. Looks good, Well done. (dark horse 01:20, 14 September 2006 (UTC))[reply]
